Stephen O Allaire

We are especially grateful to have found Attorney Stephen Allaire and his knowledgeable and experienced paralegals to sort though the 2 + feet of paperwork for Medicaid and to save many assets from being lost. At 85 my father, a brilliant engineer was reduced to a man that could hardly speak, walk o...r eat without inhaleing the food caused by dementia and altimers. In his younger years he sold insurance and bought many policy's to povide for his family as dementia runs in the family. Dad also bought elder care insurance for both himself and his wife. He thought he we were all set but State of Connecticut rules have changed rendering most policy's useless to be cashed in for face value only. The elder care policy was never updated to the Connecticut's Partnership policy needed today so his policy only covered half the nursing homes cost. Dads poor and out of date preplaning could have been prevented by consulting with Attorney Stephen Allaire who is constantly training and up to date with ever changing state and federal laws. We again used Attorney Stephen Allaire to help me sell my house and buy moms house when she fell ill and needed constant care.

I've worked with Steve and his excellent support staff for close to 10 years now, first planning for my father's late-life care and then for my mother's. The work we did around creating a Trust and long-term care planning has been extremely beneficial. Steve's team is very knowledgeable, and works ...closely with you to ensure you're making the right decisions.

My mother has Alzheimer's disease, and after caring for her for several years in her home my sister and I realized we could not afford to do so for much longer. After some research, we realized that the only real alternative was to apply for Medicaid long-term care benefits. I found Allaire Elder... Law on the Web, and based on what I read there my impression was that Stephen Allaire was quite likely our best bet to obtain Medicaid benefits for my mother in the state of CT. After meeting with Mr. Allaire and members of his team, I was certain I'd made the right choice. He and his staff were extremely knowledgeable and understanding, and walked us through the entire process step by step. Over the next several weeks the Allaire group assembled and organized the information and documents required for a successful application, communicated with the various state agencies involved in the application process, and and answered every one of our many questions. It's quite an involved procedure, but it was made as painless as possible for us. Long story short, we are now approved for Medicaid benefits, my mother has excellent caregivers, and our worry level has dropped dramatically. I feel this is solely due to our retaining Stephen Allaire's firm to handle our application, as I'm quite certain I would not have been able to do it myself.

Atty. Allaire was recommended to me by a friend who had previously engaged his firm to help get a family member eligible for Title XIX. I had found myself in a similar situation as POA for my own family member and originally thought I would be able to accomplish this task on my own. I quickly realize...d that was never going to happen and that I needed help. My particular case was not at all straightforward and Atty. Allaire and his staff got me through the entire process step by step until it's successful conclusion. A few months after the State had granted eligibility and with my file "closed" another issue arose and Atty. Allaire's office stepped right back up and got it resolved. Very grateful for everything.
